How much do y'all spend on coffee a month? (lemmy.sdf.org)

My wife and I go through about 4lbs a month using mainly Chemex and Areopress. Used to get (decent) crummy coffee at Aldi and Grocery Outlet, occasionally splurging for local roasts at the coffee shops. Still, I calculate that's about $35 or so a month on beans, Chemex filters should probably be calculated with how pricey they can be - napkin maths say $11 roughly for a months supply.

$46USD ain't bad compared to my other vices ๐Ÿ˜ช

Curious to hear if I'm around the average spender or how it tracks! Maybe you have some tips on cheap but amazing coffee? I wouldn't know unless I asked y'all

I buy green unroasted coffee for cheap and then roast it myself, 5lb bag is like 8 bucks Canadian

Do you just roast it in your home oven? Does it make your house smell like a Starbucks knock box?

[โ€“] shelf@lemmy.today 4 points 2 months ago

I do the same thing. Green coffee has a longer shelf life than roasted coffee does.

Where do you buy from?

I believe it's called buycoffeecanada.com

Recently moved to a more coffee-oriented area so I should be able to find green beans way easier now. Thanks for the reminder!!!
